Chapter 38: Revenge Incident

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Demon Subduing Academy, first floor of the Demon Subduing Pagoda, room 7.

Zhou Xuan was taking a bath and enjoying the mermaid’s massage.

The mermaid demon was called Cai Lin. The scales on her body glowed, adding a colorful glow to the dim room.

She was still gentle and charming, but her massage technique was getting better and better.

She was originally a demon, but now, she had been trained to become an advanced masseuse.

Beside the pool, there was beast milk and donkey demon jerky. The fragrance assaulted the nose.

Zhou Xuan drank a mouthful of beast milk and ate a piece of jerky with a satisfied expression.

His current cultivation level was Gold Four-Star. In the morning, he had specially found three Gold Four-Star demon beasts to practice with.

Even without using his mental strength, the Furious Soul Sword, or the Divine Dragon Technique, just by using the Invincible Vajra Body Technique, he could already completely defeat demon beasts of the same level.

If he used his mental power, the Furious Soul Sword, or the Dragon Power Technique, he could even kill a Gold Five-Star existence above his level.

His Previous Life Dao Body had used the Dragon Power Technique to instantly kill the Gold Five-Star robber. This was the best proof.

Through practicing with the three Gold Four-Star demon beasts, he also completed three Sign-ins a day and obtained a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Liquid, a Magic Fruit, and a piece of jade.

The Marrow Cleansing Liquid was used to cleanse the marrow and strengthen the constitution. After using it, his constitution had doubled.

The effect of the Magic Fruit was to increase mental power. After using it, his mental power had doubled, and it was comparable to the mental power of a Gold Eight-Star cultivator.

The blood jade contained the blood essence of demon kings and was a treasure that nourished the body. It was very useful for Gold, Platinum, and Star Brilliance cultivators.

Ever since Zhou Xuan obtained it, he had been wearing it to nourish his body at all times. He was even reluctant to take it off when he was taking a bath now.

He realized that when he wore the Blood Jade, his body would not be tired easily. Even if he was tired, he could recover faster.

The blood was bright red. When it touched his skin, it felt warm and comfortable.

Even Cai Lin, who was massaging Zhou Xuan, could not help but take a few more glances when she saw it. She called it beautiful.

As expected, female creatures were always sensitive to beautiful things.

Zhou Xuan touched Blood Jade and said, “Do you think it’s beautiful?”

“Very pretty.” Cai Lin nodded her head vigorously.

Zhou Xuan’s expression was calm. “Then take a few more glances. It’s not yours anyway.”

Cai Lin: “…”

At that moment, she was speechless.

Outside, it was already dark.

After taking a bath, Zhou Xuan also planned to return to Biji District.

Far away at Mount Longhu, the Previous Life Dao Body did not descend the mountain. Instead, it plunged into the soil and turned into a tree. There were many demon beasts in the mountain, so turning into a tree to spend the night was a relatively safe method.

When Zhou Xuan returned to Biji District, he saw that the entrance was very lively. A few security guards seemed to be discussing something.

Among them was Zhao Dazhu.

“Uncle Zhao, what are you guys talking about?” Zhou Xuan asked casually.

“Little Zhou, you’re back.” Zhao Dazhu looked at Zhou Xuan and said, “Someone died in the neighborhood next door. It was very tragic. More than ten people died.”

“Oh.” Zhou Xuan was not very interested in such matters and planned to go upstairs.

However, Zhao Dazhu stopped him and said, “Wait a moment.”

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Xuan asked.

Zhao Dazhu explained, “It’s like this. The person who killed them was an assassin from Ghost Group. It’s to deliberately take revenge on the law enforcement bureau. You’d better tell your neighbor to be careful.”

“Ghost Group again?” Zhou Xuan frowned.

He had learned from Chu Chen that the law enforcement bureau had destroyed a stronghold of Ghost Group last month. He did not expect the other party to take revenge.

Zhao Dazhu sighed and said, “Ghost Group is a crazy organization that commits all kinds of crimes. There are all kinds of killers inside. Perhaps some killers are not very strong, but they are very crazy and will bite people like mad dogs.”

After Zhao Dazhu’s introduction, Zhou Xuan learned that the person who killed today was actually an assassin who had just reached the Gold Two-Star.

That person disguised himself as a worker who cleared the sewers and sneaked into the neighboring district. He killed more than ten people at once.

Then, knowing that he couldn’t escape, he killed himself before the law enforcers arrived.

“He’s like Dian Wei, a mad dog,” Zhou Xuan muttered to himself.

Due to the terrifying incident that happened during the day, Biji District had clearly strengthened its security. Zhao Dazhu and the others also strictly investigated the people who entered the district.

“Be careful of yourself. You should come back earlier in the next few days. Don’t come back so late.” Zhao Dazhu reminded Zhou Xuan kindly, “After all, those guys don’t differentiate between people when they take revenge.”

“Alright. Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Zhao. I’ll be careful.” Zhou Xuan nodded.

He would be careful himself and would also remind Song Fan to be careful. After all, Song Fan was still the target of Ghost Group.

In the Law Enforcement Bureau, Chu Chen still had not gotten off work.

As an important member of the team attacking the Ghost Group, he had destroyed a stronghold of the Ghost Group last month.

Who would have thought that they would suffer retaliation today? More than ten people had died.

Most importantly, they hadn’t caught anyone alive yet. By the time he rushed over with his men, the murderer had already committed suicide.

What was this? This was a blatant provocation and a slap in the face.

He was furious and wished he could wipe out Ghost Group.

However, he also knew that it was unrealistic. He could only take it one step at a time.

He could only order everyone to move and raise their vigilance to prevent the retaliation from happening again. At the same time, he got someone to issue bounties to the Ghost Group’s assassins.

The bounty on the bounty order was doubled.

After a night of investigation, they finally found something at dawn. They caught two killers who were preparing to take revenge. One was a corridor cleaner, and the other was a woman who worked as a housewife.

Usually, the two of them did not reveal anything and hid it very well. Moreover, they were good people and were deeply loved by the owner.

Now, they had received orders to kill in retaliation.

Those owners had almost died under their blades.

Fortunately, the Law Enforcement Bureau appeared in time and caught them, preventing a tragedy from happening.

They had caught them, but what made Chu Chen dissatisfied was that the two assassins were obviously cannon fodder. Their statuses were low and their cultivation levels were low. They were only Gold One-Stars.

An assassin with such a cultivation base was purely trying to launch a terrifying attack with the intention of dying.

This was also the cruelty of Ghost Group.

In order to take revenge, he could sacrifice the lives of his own people at any time.

Chu Chen gave the order to interrogate them harshly. He had to get something valuable out of the two survivors.

Zhou Xuan, on the other hand, slept soundly and even had a few sweet dreams.

When he got up and went downstairs, he saw Zhao Dazhu and the other security guards helping to put up bounties. There were more bounties than before.

He could not help but take another look.

“Eh, the bounty has increased.”
